Special Issue on Virology and Diseases

Viruses are the small infectious agents replicating only inside the living cells of other organisms. They can infect all types of life forms. When viruses invade human cells, the human immune system usually can generate antibodies which will recognize the viruses and destroy them. Sometimes viruses and human immune system can establish a balance, while when the human immune system is weak due to various reasons, the viruses can break the balance and cause diseases. Lots of diseases are caused by viruses including AIDS, SARS, Hepatitis, Influenza, etc.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring virology and diseases. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Diseases caused by viruses (AIDS, SARS, Influenza, etc.)
• Common viruses and infections
• DNA virus and RNA virus
• Pathogenesis of viral diseases
• Diagnosis, prevention and treatment
• Clinical characteristics
• Molecular virology
• Genetically engineered vaccine

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Virology and Diseases” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
